Are you new to referencing and bibliographies – or in need of a refresher? This course will be ideal for all editors, including those intending to sit the IPEd accreditation exam on 5 December 2020.
This course examines how references and bibliographies are integral to many publications, and considers the editor’s role in producing and checking them. It is not intended to cover copyediting and proofreading techniques or the specifics of editing different referencing styles.
The course will be run over two half-days.
Part I: Principles (21 November) will provide a brief historical overview of referencing and bibliographies to place an editor’s work in context; examine why accurate citations are important; clarify the editor’s scope of work in relation to references and bibliographies; and consider common referencing styles, such as author–date, APA and Chicago. There will also be a hands-on, interactive exercise for participants to complete, and opportunities to ask questions.
Part II: Practice (22 November) will delve into the editorial process for referencing and bibliographies: what to do first and last and what you need to have to get started; how to create references, including using software programs, such as EndNote; editing bibliographies; and checking typeset pages. Consistent with Part I, there will be a hands-on, interactive exercise for participants to complete, as well as dedicated time for questions.
The course will use the Style manual for authors, editors and printers (6th edition) and other widely used guides for the information presented. Material for the course, such as any reading material and exercises, will be emailed to participants about five days ahead of the course.
